Whitewater Kayaking

(bad weather fallback date: 2 July) Dear ZOWSPers Every summer, ZOWSP goes island hopping. There are two islands at the end of Lake Zurich: Ufnau & Lützelau Every Thursday evening on Lützelau, there is free live music at the restaurant (more info: [https://insel-luetzelau.ch/restaurant/](https://insel-luetzelau.ch/restaurant/)) We will: - leave Zurich by train (S8) at 16:07 to Freienbach - start swimming from Spielplatz Seeanlage Freienbach to Ufnau at 5pm sharp - walk across Ufnau - swim to Lützelau - order food, drinks, and enjoy live music on Lützelau - catch a boat to Rapperswil Please note: - Signup on this meetup event is mandatory by Monday (3 days before we go), as we need to book boats to get back to Rapperswil. - Two swim groups: slower (\~3:00/100m) & faster (\~2:00/100m) - Total Swim distance: 2.5km, split into 2 parts: before & after walking across Ufnau - Bring a dry-bag to pack your phones, flip flops, clothes. - I suspect wetsuits will not be required given how quickly the lake temperature is rising. In order to participate in this event, you need to leave work early. Here are some excuses you can use: - I have a dentist appointment (overused & boring, but always works) - my cat is sick - it's my {important relative}'s {high-number rounded to the nearest 10}th birthday dinner in Lausanne - My neighbor just texted me because my dog won't stop barking, and they think a pipe might have burst in the building's hallway. I need to go check on things (the best excuse in this list, because it is too specific to be considered suspicious) Best, ZOWSP organising committee

It’s gonna be Hot!! Hotter than a Rockstar on Wembley stage at a Live Aid Concert. Too hot to wear clothes when Under Pressure. But that’s a special Kind of Magic reserved for midnight Hashes and The Show Must Go On so come dressed like a Queen or a Rockstar Queen and set your armpits free on trail. Iron that vest, polish those teeth and grow that sexy moustache as We Will Rock You around Zürich and hopefully find the Beer before Another One Bites The Dust under the scorching sun. Hare is Just Beggin’ For It **Where**: See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **All Welcome:** If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further. • The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time. • There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change. • **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.* We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

Do you want to run regularly? Together in a group? Then run with us! #### **Every Thursday, 7pm at Lochergut, Zurich** We run about 7km and adjust the speed depending on the runners who join us. For us, running isn’t just about fitness and competition, it’s about community and connection. We believe that nobody should have to run alone, and that by running together, we can push each other to be stronger and more resilient. We look forward to welcoming you to the next run 🙌

Manche Kämpfe werden nicht mit Stärke, Worten oder besseren Plänen gewonnen - sondern im Gebet. In unserem Living Room «War Room» wollen wir gemeinsam entdecken, welche Kraft im Gebet steckt und wie wir Gott mitten in unseren Herausforderungen begegnen können. Wir sprechen über persönliche Erfahrungen, offene Fragen und Situationen, in denen Beten leicht oder auch schwer fällt. Neben einem gemeinsamen Austausch erwarten dich verschiedene Gebetsstationen, Zeiten der Stille und die Möglichkeit, Anliegen vor Gott zu bringen. Egal ob du schon lange betest oder dich fragst, ob Gebet überhaupt etwas verändert - du bist herzlich willkommen. Anschliessend geniessen wir ein gemeinsames Mittagessen und lassen den Nachmittag in gemütlicher Gemeinschaft ausklingen.

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros. 10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Saturday!
